He was world champion with Messi, suffered the worst moment of his life and now he sells wine for money

Led by Lionel Scaloni, the Argentine National Team left behind its bad moments, stood up and began to do Olympic laps since 2021, starting with the Copa América played in Brazil. Obviously, everything was crowned in the World Cup in Qatar 2022, with a superlative level in several of its footballers that allowed all of them to touch the sky with their hands.

The journey was not easy, neither for the coach nor for the different groups of the albiceleste team, who hit their heads against the wall over and over again without achieving success. The one who was part of that bad streak that so distressed the 45 million Argentines, is Nicolás Burdisso.

The figure had great demonstrations with the Argentine National Team and left all the fans with him fanatic. He was able to shine in the 2006 World Cup in Germany, a contest where Messi debuted, and in South Africa 2010.

The central defender began his career at Boca Juniors, where he had a more than outstanding step where he was champion of the Copa Libertadores de América and also the world, winning the final against AC Milan. Later, he had an extensive career in the Italian league defending the jerseys of Inter, Roma, Genoa, Bologna and Torino, until announcing his retirement in 2018. In addition, the generational change in 2012 with Alejandro Sabella sidelined him from the national team.

Burdisso's new business

Although the former central marker is the manager of Fiorentina, he also practices the harvest and sale of wines in parallel. Burdisso has large hectares where he planted vineyards to dedicate himself to the business. He is doing quite well, since he sells around 120,000 bottles of his product per year, something that allows him to put soccer aside, at least for a while.
